Auto BiPap need help

Post by WindFlyer » Wed Mar 20, 2019 7:08 pm

Hey everyone:

I recently got switched from a standard CPAP to an auto Bi-Pap machine. My settings are min 12cm H2O, max 25, with a pressure support of 5cm. Right now my AHI is still well up into the 20's on some nights. Wondering if there is any kind of adjustment I can make to get my AHI a little lower.

Thanks in advance!!

JB

any chance of posting some sleepyhead screen shots? the experts here will need to see more data so they can give you some good help.

Desperately need to know what the AHI is composed of and really need to see a typical detailed nightly report.

I will get some more data for you all. I have to buy the connector cables so I can get my machine to talk with Sleepyhead. Thanks everyone!
